Like Calcaterra said, owning a MLB franchise is a license to print money. I've been sympathetic to Dolan's ownership until now. But with the revelation of the Indians profit and now this... time to call bullshit on all of the crying poor.

My question is what did the next highest bidder offer to move the final price $2.15 billion? The Sales price was originally figured to be around $1.4 Billion. How the hell did that number jump $ 750 million?

Heard Garvey say his group offered 1.2, woulda went to 1.4.

It was also pretty clear during the interview that he was astonished someone would go higher than 1.4, let alone over 2.
